Leo had been playing with his elder brother Jayhan, three, on their parents’ bed when he fell through the open first floor window. His father, Antony, 34, who was also sitting on the bed, made a desperate grab for him and screamed as he watched his tiny son lose his grip on the window frame and fall to the concrete below.

Miss Bowden found the child in the garden of their home in Exeter in Devon.

She added: "The nurses said what saved his life was that he wasn't scared and didn't stiffen up when he fell. He also bounced off the lower window sill, which broke his fall a bit.

"I haven't been able to sleep since, playing it over and over again in my head. I just didn't know what I would find when I got to the back garden.
